Evaluations of Treatment Performance of Tangerine and Cashew Leaves in TPH Removal from Contaminated Swampy and Clay Soils
Abstract: This study evaluates the effectiveness of two plant-based treatments, Tangerine (Citrus reticulata) and Cashew (Anacardium occidentale) leaves, in the bioremediation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) from polluted swampy soil. The performance of these treatments was assessed over an 84-day period using 100g of each treatment. The results demonstrated significant degradation of TPH, with Tangerine leaf showing a slight edge over Cashew leaf in the remediation process of crude oil- contaminated …

Influence of Different Quenching Media on the Mechanical Properties of Mild Steel – A Case Study of Coconut Oil, Mineral Oil, Jatropha Oil, and Water
Abstract: This study elucidates how local cooling agents, such as coconut oil and jatropha oil, influence the mechanical characteristics of heat-treated mild steel. Tensile testing, Brinell hardness testing, and microstructural analysis were conducted on both heat-treated and untreated samples. The results show observable differences in the heat-treated materials’ mechanical characteristics. Specifically, the yield strength increased across all quenched media, while the ultimate tensile strength decreased for samples cooled with coconut oil …

Investigations into the Features and Attributes of Low-Density Polyethylene/Thermoplastic Sago Starch Composites
Abstract: Low-density polyethylene, the material used to make most plastic shopping bags, has a considerable negative impact on the environment. It is enough intriguing for a substance to decay, develop for whatever reason (hydrolysis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc.), and be exposed to the elements. Sodium trimetaphosphate was used in this experiment to treat sago starch. Using additives (glycerol/urea, 1% benzophenone, and epolene wax) in the same amount of starch, sago starch was …
